ABSTRACT
With the increased prevalence of cross- and multidisciplinary teams, education and training require a pedagogical shift to match these demands. This research investigates existing cross-disciplinary training initiatives at the undergraduate level through qualitative methodology and rhetorical analysis to provide insight into enhancing instructional design.
